'initWithBase64Encoding' is deprecated?

Question

I want to get the data from the string. i am using the following code but it seems to be deprecated.

 NSData *data=[[NSData alloc]initWithBase64Encoding:(NSString *)dict];

I got the data. But its give me the warning that 'initWithBase64Encoding' is deprecated. So is there any other method that will return data?

Answer 1

use this

NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:base64String options:0];

instand of

NSData *data=[[NSData alloc]initWithBase64Encoding:(NSString *)dict];

Answer 2

Returns a data object initialized with the given Base-64 encoded string. (Deprecated in iOS 7.0. You should transition to either initWithBase64EncodedString:options: or initWithBase64EncodedData:options:.)

Answer 3

Use following

ENCODE

NSString *myString = @"Developer";
NSData *myData = [myString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *base64String = [myData base64EncodedStringWithOptions:0];
NSLog(@"%@", base64String);

DECODE:

NSData *decodedData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:base64String options:0];
NSString *decodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:decodedData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", decodedString);
